DCx Camera Functional Description and SDK Manual
To send data via the serial interfaces of multiple cameras, you can use the broadcast port with
number 255. Before connecting to the broadcast port, ensure that all the cameras that are to
receive the broadcast have been opened.
Testing the serial interface on the DCC3240x camera
Note
To avoid transmission errors, please ensure that both the camera and the receiving end use the
same communication parameters (baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity). Further information on the
communication parameters is provided in the Serial interface DCC3240x chapter.
Clicking this button opens a dialog box for transferring data through the COM port. The dialog
box is provided as the uc480ComportDemo.exe sample program together with the C++ source
code and is included in the uc480 SDK.
This program allows sending ASCII characters to the COM port assigned to a camera. The
characters are output unchanged on the camera's serial port. To check the proper functionality,
you can connect a PC to the camera's serial port and read the transmitted characters on the
PC's COM port.
Baud
In this drop down box, you can change the data transfer rate of the serial interface.
Append
This drop down box allows appending the special characters "CR" (Carriage Return) and
"LF" (Line Feed) to the ASCII text you want to transmit. Some devices with serial interface
require ASCII strings to be terminated with CR/LF.
Send file
Using these functions, you can send a file in either direction (output on the camera's virtual COM
port or output on the PC's COM port).
Note
Since the sample program has to open the camera, please make sure the selected camera is not
used by other applications at the same time.
